According to the website, they're being held in the creek.  I wonder what kind of boats will be used?

Actually make that a total of 7 so far ... Sudden Impact Black has four paddlers that are in either law enforcement or fire fighters.

So far we have 7 people

So with at least a year away we're doing o.k. but if we could get a team ready this year ... we could start practicing a few times a month and then when next year roles around ... I seriously think we could win this ... I think it would be very cool participating the WORLD Police and Fireman Games and even better winning the event in dragonboating.

I'll keep everyone informed ... I would like to get a team together ASAP so we can register it.

Hello Everyone,

   I've just read through a few PMs and they all have the same question.  When do I need to know, how many practices, etc ...

As soon as we can get a team together we can register it for the 2009 World Police and Fireman Games.  I do not know or have not heard of a cutoff date but I will try to keep as updated as possible.  As soon as we get 20 people we will schedule a meeting to make introductions, fill-out paper work, and other admin stuff.  As it stands right now we have experienced paddlers (new or experience paddlers are wanted) we could meet once a month for this season.  I know that Colussus paddles with FCRCC and SI Black practice 3 times a week so I think we'll be in pretty good shape and I don't see us needing to practice more than once a month or every two months for this year.

Next year we could stick with a once a month practice and one/two weeks before the games (July?) we could increase our practices to twice a month.  Again we will be combining team members from existing teams in the area so this won't be a huge commitment but could be very rewarding.

Right now we sit at 8 interested members.  We still need both Men and Women and they can be experienced or new paddlers. 

Thanks

Ok people time to bring this thread back into the public eye. 

I spoke with Jackie this weekend and it appears that Waters Edge will be running the Dragon Boat racing for the World Police and Fireman Games.  I will have to speak with Jackie some more but I might have been asked to liaison with someone about that ... hmmm

Either way there has to be 20 male/female paddlers out there that want to win gold at these games that will be held in Vancouver? 

If interested please pm me.

Teamwork is so important that it is virtually impossible for the team to reach the heights of it's capabilities or achieve winning results without becoming very good at it. You must practice TEAMWORK as a team, not as individuals!
